   That makes sense, I suppose.   
      
   In BR the "other side" are the reps. According to deck-a-rep, Deckard   
   himself turns out to be one of the Others.   
      
   In 6th Sense the "other side" are the dead. At the end of the movie it is   
   revealed that Bruce Willis' character is himself one of the Other Side.   
      
   Yes, I can see the analogy there.
